Santa Clara, CAPosted Aug 2013 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for the Software Engineer role with a generally professional process and a warm experience—phone first, then fewer later rounds.

Phone interview — The interviewer introduced the team, reviewed my resume, discussed current/past work, and asked a few quick general problem-solving questions.
On-site interview — I later attended an on-site with a friendly environment and professional HR; it was scheduled quickly.
Telephonic / manager discussion (variation) — In a related pathway, I also experienced a face-to-face plus a phone round with an onshore manager. Outcome: I didn’t end up getting the offer, and my takeaway was that while interpersonal experience was good, selection still depended on
